quiet wailing

okay this headache is actually very bad. i didnt realize how bad this is but this explains quite a bit about how floppy i've been all day. and this is probably also why i was crying over not having my noodles yesterday.

anyway. onwards with science; i am going to try out Aleve for the first time. the box i got only has 440 total mg, which is not a lot, but i'm hoping the fact that I've only ever taken ibuprofin for this kind of thing (and it doesn't work, hence the new nsaid) should help with that.

(i usually need about 800 mg of ibuprofin for anything to happen so like. if it doesnt work the dose might be too low OR it might just not be working. either way i will simply give up in that case)

HAHAHAHA UPDATE ON THAT: I'M ALLERGIC TO FUCKING ALEVE. I AM VERY ITCHY AND MY THROAT IS VERY BURN. GREAT :) this is literally the worst possible outcome. i am going to pitch a fit.

Update 2: thank god for claritin. i am no longer stupid itchy and my headache is mostly okay

Finally, a housekeeping note: tomorrow when Eyes Brain Etc i'll go update my vague rambles aboout my health with the "medical" tag, and you can filter those out (or to them, if you're curious). I don't talk about medical issues i dont care if people know about publically anywhere so like, you can snoop. It's okay. It's there so I don't have to explain over and over.

Oh crap, I am so sorry that IS the worst outcome and I hope you get better soon!

Oh, I forgot to update a second time- the Aleve actually did whack my headache, and I took an antihistamine that mostly neutralized the rest of it, so it wasn't as bad a worst case scenario as I expected. I wouldn't have gone for that a second time, but like, it could've definitely been worse.

I appreciate the sympathy, though! a lot
